Professional Skills Training - Edinburgh (30 April 19)

Tuesday 30 April 2019 17:15 - 19:30

Spaces available

A 2 hour CPD event designed to meet the IFoA’s Stage 3 Professional Skills Training under the IFoA’s CPD Scheme 2018/2019. This session is suitable for actuaries working in any area (i.e. it is not specifically aimed at Pensions, GI or any other technical discipline) and is interactive, so you should come along prepared to take part in the discussions.

Video case studies will be selected from the IFoA’s 2018/19 online content which covers a range of topics under an overarching theme of “Getting it right!”

Whether it’s how we communicate, present our findings, or conduct negotiations; we always need to be professional. This includes being able to support our position, ensure the other party knows and understands what we have done and why, treating others with respect and being prepared to “call out” inappropriate behaviours.

This year’s videos will explore some of the possible challenges in achieving this and also looks at some of the potential pitfalls in using social media.

We aim to avoid overlap with video case studies used at IFoA conferences, but cannot guarantee that there will be no duplication in content.

If you book a place and then find yourself unable to attend a professional skills event, please inform the events team to avoid preventing others who wish to attend being able to do so. These events often have a waiting list.
